1So all Israel was registered by genealogies, and these were written in the book of the kings of Israel. And Judah was led into exile to Babylon for their unfaithfulness.
2Now the first ones to dwell in their possessions in their cities were Israelites, priests, Levites, and temple servants.[#Ne 7:73; #Ezr 2:43, 58]
3Some of the sons of Judah dwelt in Jerusalem alongside some of the sons of Benjamin, Ephraim, and Manasseh:[#Ne 11:1]
22All those chosen as gatekeepers were two hundred and twelve. They were registered by their genealogy in their villages. Now David and Samuel the seer established them in their trusted offices.[#1Sa 9:9]
23So they and their sons were in charge of the gates of the house of the Lord , that is, the house of the tabernacle, as guards.
24The gatekeepers were on four sides: east, west, north, and south.
25Their brothers in their villages were to come for seven days from time to time to serve with them.[#2Ki 11:5; 2Ch 23:8]
26For in their trusted offices the four main gatekeepers who were Levites had charge over the chambers and treasuries of the house of God.
27They spent the night around the house of God, for the watch was entrusted to them, and they were responsible for opening it every morning.
28Some of them were in charge of the vessels of service, that they should bring them in and out by number.
29Some others were appointed over the furnishings and all the implements of the sanctuary as well as the fine flour, the wine, the oil, the frankincense, and the spices.[#1Ch 23:29]
30And some of the sons of the priests mixed the ointment of the spices.[#Ex 30:23–25]
31Mattithiah, one of the Levites (he was the firstborn of Shallum the Korahite), was entrusted with making the flat cakes.[#1Ch 9:19]
32Others of the sons of the Kohathites and from their brothers were given charge over the showbread to prepare it every Sabbath.[#Lev 24:5–8]
33Now these are the singers, heads of the fathers’ houses of the Levites, who stayed in the temple chambers, free from other service, because they were occupied with the work day and night.[#1Ch 6:31–33; 25]
34These were the heads of the fathers’ houses of the Levites according to their generations, leaders, who dwelt in Jerusalem.
